I saw you flailing in the fountain With your failing masterplan A co-conspirator that speaks only Through sleight of hand One look into your eyes I realized how much I wanted in I will not cross your enveloping glow A flower that will never grow Unless it grows without a stem A flower that will turn its thorns upon itself Your GPS will never find the place That's worthy to begin Your dictionary never finds the words to defend... Backwards halo Never find the means to... Caulk the ego Struggle to incinerate a pattern that you've made A portal that will seal itself Upon your subconscious command A calico scarecrow will tend the nest when you go I notice nightingales will never cross The threshold to your door A magnet that detracts that which it beholds This feeling never shows... This feeling never shows the way out... The way out Exhale the universe Inhale the universe Exhale the universal barking at the breakers... Quilting on the claws Feeding off the shapeshifters never really ends it all Home for the holidays

I've got some time to kill Guess I'll take the nightmare pill Elevate the animal A fist too full to swallow I know this sounds absurd The bitterness and lonely word That lost my wooden scimitar To slay the beast that mocks me And it's hard when everything turns wrong It's hard Looks like the thread I'm unraveling is too long To secure the spine I'm out of frontiers Locked unnavigated fears Into a place of paranoia A figment for the hollows I am off the charts, I am off the map Focused on the wires, I'm not looking back Finding it impossible not to react When I should not react I am on the cusp of this cholera Adhering to the curse of a common law That puts me in the path of a comet's claw That I cannot detract Lord knows it's hard to be here And it's hard to not be here

I cannot unquench my love Swimming in the aqueducts Everyone can see the sparks Everyone can see the ankhs Everyone can see the arcs In, above, or out of your eyelashes, lashing out I cannot explain my heart Is it because the Cascades and clocks Keep us so near yet so far apart? I am just an herbivore Squeezing through the canine corridor I am darkened, you are golden glow I drown in the stream You are flooding out my dreams You are flooding out my seams Don't let me look in your cupboards Don't even open the shutters Hematite will pass me through But won't lead me to you Don't let me look in your cupboards Don't even open the shutters Hematite will pass me through But won't lead me to you ...to you I cannot explain myself

I've looked into acid-washing my fingerprints Just to get the stench of your skin off my ellipsis I've thought about turning to religion Just to get the slime of your soul off of my hips I've considered therapy or deprogramming Just to get your name off of my lips I've occupied myself with swallowing glass Left out on the balcony from our impasse I am boring everyone to their deathbed And I won't talk of anything else
